Now, I'm Irritated

This could have been a really good drama. The basic outline of the look, feel and backstory were good. However, the delivery was so over the top with the support cast that I had to yell, WHY!!!! Did the writer's promise the 'mothers' in this script that they would get ample screen time? UGH!!! There were so many scenes with them and the ex-fiancé of the dead brother that needed to be left on the cutting room floor. Beautiful ML. He worked with what he was given. The FL, I have seen her in other dramas, but I need for her to understand that starring like a deer in headlights is not a constant emotion.

BIG PROBLEM in the Storyline!
1. It is explained that his brother died 10 years ago and was engaged at the time.; and this deceased brother was in a possible affair with the FL while engaged.
2. It is known that the ex-fiancé' caused the accident that killed the deceased bother.
3. The ML is not the actual son of the mother of the brother that is deceased.
4. The ex-fiancé' runs a high-end mall that houses the fashion of the FL and has had them as a client for years. So, you have already known this woman (FL) since she is head designer. So why now all of a sudden there is a problem with her because she is dating the 'brother' of your deceased ex-fiancé who you accidently killed?
5. Why do we need 6 scenes of the mother in the deceased son's old room. Why did we have about 5 extra scenes of both mothers saying the same thing in different ways to the ML and FL. (overkill and totally took away from the drama)

If the 'mother mayhem' wasn't so obnoxious throughout the rest of the series could have been saved as a solid drama. The secondary couple became more interesting since the first couple's story became a runaway train. The way it ended was off. This is not a book report. You do not have to repeat the title. Both ML and FL previously stated that if they were to cross paths again then they would accept it as fate and be together. So, why did the writers have him lean that way while walking towards her... but she says while walking towards him, 'Now we are breaking up'.

If you were to watch it, watch only one scene with the mothers giving their opinion and fast forward through the rest. It becomes exhausting. The only rewatch would be to catch certain scenes that capture certain actors truthfully. The only reason I give it a 6 is for the styling, OST and actors trying to pull off something more from a script with too many holes to mention.
